32 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | JULY 2022 | Golf Club From the President, Tom Moore: I get a lot of complaints about the slow pace of play in our club, so here is a repeat of an article I composed for the Herald several years ago. Maybe this time it will help… 12 Tips for a Faster Round of Golf (originally posted in 2019) 1. Carry an extra ball in your pocket to use in case a "provisional" shot is required. 2. If there is ANY doubt about where your ball is, hit a provisional — it's free unless you use it. 3. Limit your search for a lost ball to two minutes. When possible, everyone in the group should help. 4. After your shot, get back in the cart with your clubs in your hand, you can put them away (quietly!) after you get to the next shot. 5. Fill out score card after you leave the hole. 6. If within a foot or so of the hole, putt out. 7. Study your putt while others are putting. 8. When on opposite sides of fairway, park your golf cart in the middle. 9. Take appropriate clubs to your ball and hit without delay 10. Ready golf: whoever is ready, and if you can hit safely, take your shot. 11. Avoid taking five or six "practice swings" before actually hitting the ball. 12. Leave the green immediately after the last golfer in your group holes out. These are tried and true ways to speed up play. NO ONE enjoys a five-plus hour round of golf, and with a little effort we can get to the 19th hole and enjoy a tall, frosty adult beverage a lot sooner.

I think it would be nice to have a Pet Owners Group to meet once a month to share information about vets, groomers, food, treats, medical issues, pet sitters, and walkers. We may be able to get guest speakers, such as veterinarians, to share important information.
